Native to Yemen and Saudi Arabia, the veiled chameleon can primarily be found in forests, valleys, and mountain plateaus. They are a popular species in the pet trade, and are one of the most commonly owned types of reptile.
History:
In areas like Hawaii and Florida, veiled chameleons are considered an invasive species. Researchers believe they were released accidentally or on purpose by previous owners. As a result, they have damaged the livelihood of many endemic species, either by out competing them or by praying upon them. In fact, veiled chameleons are believed to have single-handedly driven some species to become classified as near threatened.
